A Talk About Rats.

Said professional rat-catcher to a
New York Tribune reported: "Rats
have two motions of the jaw in biting.
The first is soft and delicate, and the
teeth justscratch the object they have
hold of. Then follows quick, sharp,
powerful action of the jaw, and the
slender teeth sink up to the gums and
stay there. This bite is dangerous. If
the teetl ave gone deeply into my hand

to keep the sEelling down, but always
good deal Of pain follows. My arm has

natural sic. It's strange, but there is
no harm IL de bite Of well-fed rat.

"Somc rat -catchers say they can

eyes, answered the man, "but |
never saw rat that could be charmed,
though I've often seen it tried. The
method used is whistling or singing a
dolefuI song. The rats will, it is true,
exhibit astonishment at a shrill whistle,
but when the animal is said to be under
the mysterious influence Of the whistler,
never saw one yet, if he was little
hungry, that wonld not send his teeth
through your finger just the same as if he
had never been charmed. The whole
businessis is a humbug, and, as the ex
pertinent is always made with tame

something in it. and are duped.

Friendship is woven fast BY inter.

The failure of one man is the opportu-

Most mon know what they hate, few
what they love.
What all men should avoid is the
shabby genteel."
The mind hath not reason to rcmem.
Der that passions ought to be her vassals
not her masters.
A man that studieth revenge keepeth
his own wounds green, which otherwise
would heal an 10 well.
Thou art either gold, or iron; if thou
art gold trial will chasten thee, if thou
art iron, it will rust thee.
Compliments of congratulation are al
ways kindly taken, and cost one moth

A man oses all that he leaves after
him in this world whilst he takes
with him the fruits of his charity and

A good action performed in this world
receives its recompense in the other, just
as water poured at the root of a
tree appears again above in fruit and
flower.
There is nothing which contributes
more to the sweetness of life than friend.
ship; there is nothing which disturbs
our repose more than friends, if we
have not the discernment to choose them

Opportunity is in respect to time, in

point, the critical minute, on which
every good work so much depends.

Deem in the Earth.

In addition to bits of charred wood,
which we noticed the other day as hav-
ing been brought up from depth of
900 feet in the artcsian well which the
R,cks Water company is drilling, we
have been shown pieces of she'll such as
are common along the ocean beach.
These came up from as far down as $50
feet, which depth has now been reached.
These fragments of shells are found in
considerable quantity, and Mr.. Rcks
informs US also that two or three pieces
Of bone from the skeleton Of bird have
come up. The finding OF such things so
deep in the earth is exciting consider
able interest in the community, and the
inquiry naturally arises, How came
they there2 1t seems pretty conclusive
that at some period the strata in which
tbey we're imbedded were not below the
level Of the sea. At some time those
shells were on the surface, and on the
surface, in ages past, somebody kindled
the fire that charred those bits of wood
